Attention is a core property of all perceptual and cognitive operations. Given limited capacity
to process competing options, attentional mechanisms select, modulate, and sustain focus …

Despite the impressive complexity and processing power of the human brain, it is severely
capacity limited. Behavioral research has highlighted three major bottlenecks of information …

A study that goes beyond the debate over functional specialization to describe the ways that
emotion and cognition interact and are integrated in the brain. The idea that a specific brain …

The subjective experience of perceiving visual stimuli is accompanied by objective neuronal
activity patterns such as sustained activity in primary visual area (V1), amplification of …

In the phenomenon of attentional blink, identical visual stimuli are sometimes fully perceived
and sometimes not detected at all. This phenomenon thus provides an optimal situation to …

Our brain does not process incoming sensory stimuli mechanistically. Instead the current
brain state modulates our reaction to a stimulus. This modulation can be investigated by …

The directness and vivid quality of conscious experience belies the complexity of the
underlying neural mechanisms, which remain incompletely understood. Recent work has …

Functional neuroimaging has proven highly valuable in mapping human sensory regions,
particularly visual areas in occipital cortex. Recent evidence suggests that human parietal …

Apart from their reading difficulties, dyslexic subjects often suffer from a variety of subtle
sensory and motor deficits. Whether these deficits have a causal relationship to the reading …

Attention is the process that selects which sensory information is preferentially processed
and ultimately reaches our awareness. Attention, however, is not a unitary process; it can be …
